Erika Schulze was born and raised in the Midwest in Illinois 30 minutes outside of St. Louis, MO. She completed her academic training at Goldfarb School of Nursing in St. Louis, MO. Her experience spans 16 years, which included working at Barnes Hospital as staff nurse on general medicine floor for 8 years; Pulmonary and Critical Care research at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. In 2003, Erika was accepted into graduate school at Goldfarb School of Nursing and completed Master of Science degree in Nursing with focus as an Adult Nurse Practitioner. This program was two and half years of additional medical assessment and decision training including diagnostic testing. Since completing Graduate School, she has worked in the primary care setting. She moved to Texas and started working at UTMB in January 2013.

During her time off, she enjoys her home, gardening, and time with her family and friends. She is passionate about animal welfare charities and animal fostering programs. Erika is also very passionate about the mental health of the community. She chairs a weekly support group, Nar Anon, for family and friends of those suffering from addiction.

It was truly a delight to be seen by Erika Schulze. Erika was really amazing. She answered all my questions, was very friendly, pleasant and professional, and I really just could not be happier about this visit. I also trust her. I don't remember trust being an issue as I was growing up, but more recently, it has become very important that I can trust my provider. I didn't feel she was trying to push medical procedures at me just to make money - she didn't advise any and certainly not 2 blood tests a year (when I was on no medication nor had any bad results), and derm-abrasion therapy for my face like my last family doctor did.
